PRIVATE COACHING

I am a teacher and director at heart. It is my biggest passion in this industry above all else.  I like to take a little of everything I've learned over the last 3 decades and see what works best for each particular student.  Everyone's a little different!  And it's so much fun to dissect the specific needs of each actor during a private session.  We have an enormous capacity for real human connection and experience.  My teaching approach is to guide actors to tap into their vulnerability so that they can better understand what it means to connect deeply not only with scene partners, but with their own mind and body.   Actors need to embrace their own essence, and what makes them a unique human being. You don't need to be anyone else or please anyone else.  And you certainly don't need to waste time trying to figure out what a producer or director "wants" you to be.  Just be you. To be vulnerable and open takes courage. Putting yourself out there without fear of judgement isn't easy, but with the right mindset, it's incredibly freeing as a storyteller/actor.  ​ Understanding the physiology of the body is also important. We talk about where we feel certain emotions, how our breath changes and how that directly affects the the  character’s experience in a story. ​ Most of all... I hope I can give tools to help any actor have fun while telling a story. ​
